Out Of Gas On Lover’s Leap - The Yankees - The Belmont Stakes - Billi Pod’s Tony Predictions

Saturday==>We will get today’s posting started with your favorite Sunshine State blogger’s report card on last night’s show ...

OUT OF GAS ON LOVER’S LEAP, on the night of their high-school graduation Myst and Grouper, two bright, well-to-do teenagers, have driven to the local lover's leap for a private celebration. As they drink beer, smoke pot and engage in sharply amusing, yet disheartening, interplay, it becomes increasingly evident that these are two very lost young souls==>Thumbs Up

This comedy/drama is extremely well performed by Alex Bridgeman as Grouper and Allie Novell as Myst, however, I found both of their characters to be totally dislikable and by the end of the show I wanted to just “bitch-slap” each one of them.

The story line is pretty emotionally involving but the climatic ending is not surprising at all ... you can see it coming about 30 minutes into the show.

This was the opening night at The Breakthrough Theatre on West Fairbanks Avenue in Winter Park. Unfortunately, for the cast and crew, the audience was very very sparse, which I found to be somewhat surprising.

There are two remaining performances: Saturday night @ 8:00pm; Sunday @ 3:00pm

Billi Pod says==>it is worth seeing.

When I left the apartment for the show it was raining. Fortunately, when the show was over the rain had stopped.

Was back in the apartment in time to watch the final innings of the Yankees/Angels game. 

The Yankees had a comfortable 8-1 lead going into the top of the 9th. Then the Angels staged a 6-run comeback. WTF? We hung on to win by a final score of 8-7. The final inning was really tough to watch.

Tonight at 7:05pm from Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built, is the second game of the 3-game series.

On the mound for the Yankees (30-25) will be Adam Warren (3-4) vs. Garrett Richards (5-3) for the Angels (28-27)

Also on the sports scene ... 

I will be pulling for American Pharoah to win the 147th Belmont Stakes and to join the only 11 other horses who won the Triple Crown.

Post time is 6:50pm and it will be carried on NBC.

Moving on ...

In all likelihood for the afternoon and evening I will remain in the cool and comfortable confines of #216 to watch baseball on my 42” flat screen TV.

And now ... the moment you loyal and faithful readers and followers have all been so anxiously awaiting ...
